Consequences upon arrival (iii).
We will ask you to welcome what arrives.
We embrace it ourselves having never seen
its raw or rotund form.
Acceptance is an orientation mapped along the consciousness
that rises in our sleep toward the faceless choice that
does not return us here.
The old conflicts emerged through the feet
of the new conflicts.
Marks across our bodies branched.
All the ways there are to stand in one place.
On a mountain at the bus stop, offering a single ragged fruit.
A visceral reading eye context arrived without horizon,
lowered by an octave, shot through with feeling
and mourning from every hole.
A reservoir to one side, the context arrived with an animal
in its mouth.
It further proposed the geography.
To foil the context was to outrun the authorities
imagination.
And to refuse all explanations of why what we felt
was not real.
To disarm the wolf every time at every gate,
unthread its learnedness and don the lonely pelt.
Scale intimacy like a door, the ambient condition
clawing along the rails.
The same bird never appeared twice.
Figures disappeared beneath terms and stones
under which overturned, there was always a little scat.
It wasn't not beautiful.
But the climates might surrender us, saying only,
I'm sorry for the way I am.
There were the climates from which we were evacuated,
the climates for which authorities
could give two fucks in which we could not walk to the store.
The dawning climate that was not a horizon but virus
steeped inside our bones.
The circulatory climates where we were perpetually
inappropriately dressed.
Contextual differences didn't occur within the interior.
There were no climates within the climates.
They occasioned equivalent decay.
This too wished for a name.
Dilation to demonstrate the needle's fine circuitous route,
to give respect where respect was due.
We produce gestures to anchor its teeth to our tables.
Direct its angles to the comfort of our love, faceless
and ragged.
The conditions behaved strangely, we like to say.
Though, in fact, it was duplicitously.
The conditions behaved duplicitously
but required all our love.
We clenched our fists yet said, have the champagne.
We are figuratively accountable here.
Let us run to the store, have leather.
Eames and designer floors, designer flowers.
The gun cabinet is designed accordingly,
lovingly custom to order here.
Allow us to regard the hour.
